Ingersoll Rand Model 242 Compressor

[brightspark]

eddie49 - I was originally informed that it was connected to a single phase supply, but should have been connected to a three phase supply, hence the need for a "push" start to get the motor going. I don't however have a 3 phase supply on the property, I am merely going on the diagrams printed on the covers of the compressor connections, these being Monofase and Trifase, Single and Three Phase respectively.

Under the Monofase heading are 2 diagrams, one entitled Rotaz. DX and the other Rotaz. SX, which I believe to be Clockwise and Anticlockwise respectively. Under the Trifase heading are a further 2 diagrams, one for 220v and the second for 380v, both are slightly different connections.

The compressor/motor does have a capacitor connected to it, and was also wired in. But still doesn't answer my questioning as the capacitor itself has the following printed on it;

GEOFARAD
SNZ-K 60 118 480
uF 80 +- 5%b
V~ 400
V- 450 1440/50
50HZ -25/70°c
MK 06/88
MADE IN ITALY


On the plate of the motor it is indeed printed with "PHASE" however, there is no further printing on this line, and then continues underneath with;

Type: 100LB/4 No: 766740
kW: 2,2 Hp: 3
Volt: 240 A: 12,4
RPM: 1420 Hz: 50 Ins: F

I would prefer to get the most possible out of the compressor, as I will be using it to supply air to a Shot Blasting Cabinet, Compressed Air Log Splitter and a "Vehicle Repair Bay" in my garage, along with the possibility of using it for Light Spraying in the near future.

its single phase 2.2kw
3 horsepower 12.4 amps all sounds fine to conect or is there a point im missing ??

Just to drag this one up from the depths of time..

Could anyone please let me know where i need to make the connections on the pressure switch and motor?

The pressure switch has 6 terminals inside and so does the compressor.

Any help would be highlh appreciated.
